Nanoha Music Discussion (OP/ED, Music Videos, OSTs, etc.)

[Bloodseeker]

I'll rewatch the OPs and EDs (except for the first ED, because I ****ing hate it), since I'm bored and I don't remember the first two OPs or the second ED all that well.

First OP: Its not annoying and overly-cutesy like I remember (I remembered it being about on par with the FMP OPs), and it actually gets the feel of the show across somewhat at parts, but its not really good either. Its just kinda there. 5/10

First ED: Annoying. Very, very, very annoying. Like it makes me want to go outside and kill a cute little animal annoying. The irritating cutesy lyrics ("Make a little wish!" ) and the dumb, ugly little dancing Nanoha down there in the corner... Easily one of my least favorite anime OPs/EDs, right down there with Love Hina's OP. 0/10

As OP: Good OP. Not anywhere near being a favorite or anything, but I'm surprised that I don't remember watching it at the beginning of every episode. 7/10

As ED: Doesn't piss me off like the first ED or even irritate me, but I still don't like it. 3/10

StrikerS OP: Eh, I like the tune and visuals when Fate and Nanoha are blowing stuff up, but the rest is just okay. 6/10

Striker ED: Music's not bad, and I <3 the visuals. This ED kinda remind me of the early Inuyasha EDs in the way that it portrays Nanoha. (too bad that the music isn't quiet up to par... those are easily some of my favorite anime EDs) 7/10

[IchiKyo]

Wow, you're very Strict O_o
Anyway, can't rate it

[Kenji_Chaos]

lolz
actually so far i find 3 series OP not bad

anyways does any1 have the full lyrics with translation for the 1st OP >.<

[Ultima_Rasengan05]

i didn't have any problems with all three opening theme songs and the three ending theme songs....they were all fine to me!
as for SECRET AMBITION...i love this song!! i even watched the PV....looks like she's wearing Fate's Barrier Jacket in StrikerS...hahahha or maybe its just me....

I thought the exact same when I watched it. I think it does look like she's wearing Fate's barrier jacket from StrikerS. (few things off, but I think it's very similar looking.)

yups i think it does look similar also...the black and the white stripes around the jacket...just like Fate's barrier jacket in the show....Nana Mizuki might be my newest favorite Seiyuu in anime....( i only found out about her after watching both seasons of Nanoha, she did a great job in voicing Fate)

[Kipp]

I'm curious if Mizuki Nana and Tamura Yukari have ever performed a song together for the Nanoha series? I know Nana does the OPs and Yukari does the EDs, but I think it'd be nice to see them together, if they haven't already.

[npal]

They could do an insert song It'd be a first.

[Proto]

Nah, they have to leave Ueda Kana those after all

[Nagumo]

My exams are over... and now I face the daunting task of translating four rather long tracks that remain in A's SS 02... EEEEP!!!



08 - Yami no Sho no Ishi, Kishi Tachi no Kako wo Kataru
YnS's will, the Knights past revealed.

YnS: This is our recorded memories, the past history of the YnS. As long as the pages are not gathered and activated this was designed to enlighten our new master to the truth of our past and make them understand. But it seems you have come here quicker than expected. (bad translation)
Signum: The Wolkenritter have returned. Today we attacked a castle to the west.
Shamal: We have gathered 54 pages. We have now gathered 316 pages.
Master: Too slow. You're too slow.
Signum: Yes.
Master: I was chosen by the Yami No Sho. I have the right to it's absolute power.
Shamal: Of course.
Master: Put the power of the YnS, that even the Gods would want, in my hands quickly. Quickly, quickly make me the true master of the Yami no Sho.
Signum: Understood.
YnS: This memory is far in the past. At this time, the master was a female Velka lord. (translation is off)
Hayate: Signum and Shamal... they're completely different.
Signum: We're setting out tomorrow morning. Recuperate as much as you can until then.
Shamal: Viita-chan, it's cold. So come here.
Viita: No thanks. I'll sleep alone.
Hayate: Wait a second. What is this? Don't tell me that this is their room.
YnS: At the time with this master, yes.
Hayate: They can't lit a fire here, a bare stone floor. This is just a jail cell.
YnS: It can't be helped. The knights were just hardworking tools, they don't require a place fit for a human to rest in.
Hayate: That can't be. It's wrong. Ignoring their actions are right or wrong for now, they're working so hard for their master. To put them in such a cold place. Really, I mean were they fed well?... And, didn't receive any normal clothes? Wear what they are now, look they're shivering! I... I...
YnS: This is all in the past. There's nothing you can do.
Hayate: That might be true but this is too much...
YnS: The Knights past is upsetting to your gentle nature. I shall end the image. Also, the Knights are now very happy. Since they are living by your side now.
Hayate: Um... How... what can I say.
YnS: Thank you very much. I want to extend words of thanks to you.
Hayate: Oh no, I should be saying that... I see, you're the YnS's will, then you're the one who let me meet those children.
YnS: I'm very sorry but it's not as if I willed it for you to meet them. Any individual before my scan gets to meet them. (bad translation)
Hayate: Oh that's all right. Thanks to you coming to my place, I got to meet them.
YnS: Yes.
Hayate: And now, I got to meet you. I'm really happy and thankful. Is that bad?
YnS: No, if that is what you wish, I have no problems with it.
Hayate: Good girl. Anyways, I'm sorry. I never noticed you existed before. Signum and the others should have told me something.
YnS: I am a program that won't activate until the pages are gathered. Since you do not desire this, the Blazing Commander/General and Healing Wind find it difficult to tell you. Please don't blame them. (bad translation
Hayate: Until the the pages are all gathered, you can't come outside.
YnS: To freely converse and to access and activate my personality function requires 400 pages needs to be gathered and requires authorization from the Master. For my physical incarnation and harmonization (fusion/unison) function, all the pages must be gathered and you must become the true master, before it is possible. (bad translation)
Hayate: I see. By physical incarnation and all, does that mean that you can live like Signum and the others with me.
YnS: Yes. I can appear in this form and if it's necessary I can harmonize (fuse, unite) with you and grant you powers of a mage.
Hayate: I see. It would be good if I became the true master but...
YnS: Unless you desire to complete the book, it's not possible. Access this deep is dangerous in the current situation. I'll escort you to the outer layers when you are waking up. I'll put a lock on the system so that this won't happen again. I'm sorry.
Hayate: Oh you don't have to apologize. Bt leaving right after meeting you feels so lonely.
YnS: I feel the same way.
Hayate: In that case, can I ask you for something as your master before we have to say good bye? It's something I've asked from Signum and the others as well. Something you absolutely have to do to become my knight.
YnS: I am at your service.
Hayate: Well then, here!
YnS: Huh?
Hayate: A hug!
YnS: Wha... oh... Yes... I understand... Then... I should it the same way as the Blazing Commander/General does it, by resting you on my lap?
Hayate: Yup. Hugging this way, we can see each other faces more closely. We can see into each other eyes deeply.
YnS: Yes, I can see very well.
Hayate: You have beautiful deep red eyes.
YnS: Thank you very much.
Hayate: And such silky silver hair.
YnS: Yes.
Hayate: And... your breasts are pretty large. (Hayate has a breast fetish...)
YnS: Unlike the Blazing Commander/General, I don't get as embarrassed as her. You can freely feel them if you want. (or at least embarassing Signum as much as possible)
Hayate: Maybe latter.
YnS: Ha...
Hayate: I knew it, you look more beautiful when you laugh.
YnS: Thank you very much.
Hayate: Until it's time. Let's talk.
YnS: Yes, what would you like to hear?
Hayate: Something from the past. One that isn't so sad.
YnS: I see. Well then, I do have this tale. This is something that happened a very long time, but it involves me and a certain...

[LoweGear]

O_O

That last part with Hayate and Reinforce is official?! Damn...

Really makes me wish for the return of Bog Boss Reinforce

[Nagumo]

I'm sure the last part

YnS: I see. Well then, I do have this tale. This is something that happened a very long time, but it involves me and a certain...

Is actually quite innocent... I guess didn't translate the last line very well if you get a weird feeling from it.

Or perhaps your talking about the breast thing... Yeah... it's official. Hayate likes her women older, taller and more big breasted than her... possible that if you do emo well, she'll like you even more.

Yup, I'm talking about that... and now we know where all those doujin artists got that part of Hayate from...

[IchiKyo]

Thanks Nagumo
We don't know when this event take place, the Track 08?

[Nagumo]

Well apparently all the tracks in SS02 happens between episode 6 and 7, thus listed as episode 6.5 somewhere in one of the tracks.

[IchiKyo]

Ok Thanks
So maybe it's the Yami no Sho on the Book Form

Thank you for your translations! I really appreciate it!

[Nagumo]

Okay, only two more tracks... then A's SS02 is done!

Presenting, a very angry Viita!


07 - Hayate, Yami no Sho no Ichi to Deau
07 - Hayate and the will of the YnS meet

Hayate: As usual, this is really boring. I know I shouldn't fall asleep... but knowing that only makes me sleepier. Oh, this dream again. Lately I've been seeing it a lot, it's a very... mysterious... dream... Oh it's a battle this time? It's not my world. There are lots of knights...
Woman: Emergency! The front walls have been breached! There are four enemies! The general is engaging a fire using female knight in combat. Our position is being destroyed! (bad translation, hard to hear)
Signum: How pathetic, the blade in your hand must be weeping.
Hayate: Signum? What's with that rough looking armor?
Signum: The strong (can't hear)(bad translation). I'll be taking what's been promised.
Man: You... bastard!... Who are you!!!
Signum: There's no reason for you to remember my name. You're only worthy of becoming food/power for the YnS! (bad translation)
Hayate: Yami no Sho? No, Signum, no don't!
Woman: The General has been defeated! Reinforcements! Send reinforcements...!
Shamal: Please remain silent.
Hayate: Shamal? Shamal's armor is also...
Shamal: Your life and your castle is of absolutely no interest to us. The only thing we want... is the source of all your magic, your linkercore.
Hayate: Shamal...
Signum: The defenders of this castle and it's general could only put up this much of a fight? After only a mere hundred years the Belka Knights has really fallen.
Shamal: Don't say that. It can't be helped.
Zafira: This is a consequence of time.
Hayate: Zafira too? Could this be...?
Shamal: In these times, using Belka in wars is rare. Perhaps this isn't an age of knights any more.
Signum: It makes collecting linkercores that much harder though. Wresting it from the weak is scarcely to my liking.
Zafira: However, our master only cares for the completion of the book.
Shamal: As quickly as possible too. We have to finish gathering the pages soon or our master will get angry again.
Signum: I know, where's Viita?
Hayate: That's right... Viita...
Man 1: What the hell was that explosion? What... what kind of attack was that?
Man 2: Ahhh!!! My arm!!! MY ARM!!!
Viita: Shut up... SHUT UP! If you're going to just scream/cry on the battefield like that then don't bother picking up a weapon in the first place!
Hayate: Viita?... No, please stop!
Viita: Signum? What the hell are you doing?
Signum: I keep on telling to keep a cool head. What are you thinking, crushing what we're trying to gather?
Viita: But these guys won't shut up!
Zafira: We cannot afford to waste our magic. You know there isn't enough time to recuperate it.
Viita: I told you shut up!
Shamal: Enough. Let's gather what we have quickly and return to our Master.
Viita: Oh yeah... Our Master...
Hayate: Everyone...
YnS: I'm surprised... You managed to get in here on your own?
Hayate: Huh... huh? Um... You... Your?
YnS: Due to the current stage of awakening, it is dangerous for you access this deeply. I shall guide you to a safer place. Please come this way.
Hayate: Wait... Wait a second... You... I know you.
YnS: Yes, ever since you were born, I have always been by your side.
Hayate: Then, your Yami no Sho?
YnS: If you wish to call me that you may. I am the magic book's true completion program.
Hayate: I see, I see... Wait, that's not right... Before we leave, could you tell me what this place is?
